Now we’re left with all we need to start the RPi distribution so let’s start it like: qemu-system-arm -M versatilepb -cpu arm1176 -hda debian6-19-04-2012. Now plug it 10 seconds on your Raspberry Pi. Once done, you can now use it to transfer games from your computer to Retropie: Create a retropie folder on the USB key. brew install homebrew/dupes/apple-gcc42Īnd then compile and install qemu like: brew install qemu -use-gcc Select FAT32 and give a name to the volume. The image file is created and located as arch/arm/boot/zImage.ĭue to a bug of a white screen hanging QEMU if compiled with llvm one must install the package apple-gcc42 from the homebrew’s dupes repository.

If it does, one must create the file: sudo touch /usr/local/include/elf.hĮdit it and write the following: #include Īnd follow through the building process: make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/rpi/arm-cs-tools/bin/arm-none-eabi-k Note that the compilation should fail and complain about an inclusion in scripts/mod/mk_elfconfig.

Save the configuration and let’s build the kernel afterwards. Make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=~/rpi/arm-cs-tools/bin/arm-none-eabi- menuconfig Start the OnWorks Linux online or Windows online emulator or MACOS online emulator from this website. Grab the config file and configure the kernel: cp arch/arm/configs/bcmrpi_cutdown_defconfig. Upload this application in such filemanager. The RPi Kernel Compilation mkdir ~/rpi/kernel What RetroPie does is bundle all the emus. PREFIX=$HOME/rpi/arm-cs-tools make install-crossĮcho “export PATH=$HOME/rpi/arm-cs-tools/bin:$PATH” » ~/.bash_profile RetroPie is a collection of packages: mainly existing open source emulators (which DO run on Mac).

The Cross-Compiling Tool for the ARM architecture.Īssuming one already have the latest Xcode and command line tools from Apple Developer and homebrew installed, then should install the dependencies: brew install mpfr gmp libmpc libelf texinfo.

A Cross-Compiling Tool for the CPU architecture of RPi.

To set up an emulated environment of the Raspberry Pi software on OSX one will need:
